摘要
利用密度泛函理论和Birch-Murnaghan物态方程,系统分析了LaB6晶体材料的弹性常数参数、体弹性模量、剪切弹性模量及其他力学性能。结果表明:LaB6晶体具有较大的弹性常数参数C11,说明在此主轴应力方向上具有较大的弹性常数;同时它还具有较大的体弹性模量,并且体弹性模量具有各向同性,剪切弹性模量具有各向异性;LaB6晶体的杨氏模量为227.85 GPa,泊松比为0.26,体剪弹性模量比值达到1.44,表明其脆性较强,不易发生弹性形变;LaB6晶体的硬度达到11.56 GPa,平均弹性波速达4.87 km/s。LaB6的带隙宽度为0.20 eV,呈金属性,内部电子具有较强的局域性,La和B之间具有较强的共价键成分。
The elastic constants parameters, bulk modulus, shear modulus and mechanical properties of the LaB_6 crystalline material have been systematically studied with density functional theory and the BirchMurnaghan formation. The results show that the LaB_6 has larger C11, indicating its larger elastic constant along this direction. The LaB_6 also has large bulk modulus, and the bulk modulus is isotropic, whereas the shear modulus is moderately anisotropic. The LaB_6 crystalline material has large Young's modulus of 227.85 GPa,so it is hard for elastic deformation. The Poisson's ratio is 0.26 and the B/G value is 1.44, these values indicate the moderate brittleness of this material. The hardness of LaB_6 is 11.56 GPa and the mean elastic velocity is 4.87 km/s. The LaB_6 has narrow band gap of 0.20 eV, showing that it is metallic type material.The electrons of LaB_6 have strong localization interaction, and there is covalent bond between La and B.
